Wife and husband had a fight. Wife asked Divorce. Husband said “I will give you divorce”. Please let me know if one divorce has taken place by this statement. Or this constitutes to permanent divorce.
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
The statement of the husband in English “I will give you divorce” will not constitute a divorce as that is a promise to divorce. It is not the actual divorce giving of divorce. Hence no divorce has taken place.
